Intersections of the Guiding Principles With Leadership Assessments.

Abstract

The International Leadership Association's General Principles for Leadership Programs is a document designed to provide resources to create, redesign, and assess leadership programs. This article provides a broad introduction to the Venn diagram developed by the ILA Committee for the Advancement of Leadership Programs (CALP). It is intended to help leadership educators, taking their program context into account, introduce and explain how to provide the necessary depth needed for good program design. ILA's Advancement of Leadership Programs project works to advance the ongoing leadership learning efforts of the General Principles and Guiding Questions living documents on programmatic development and review. CALP has been charged with working with ILA members to develop the best ways to use these tools in our work. This article is intended to help you understand the many resources available when looking at the delivery of leadership programs. In addition to the General Principles, we provide other resources that can aid in creating and redesigning leadership programs.
